The bloc is daring them to do it or lose all credibility in the province. Then they will go around and say it was their pressure tactics that got the arena for Peladeau whose father was an absolute separatist and the son not far behind.

Another smart Harper move. Even his jackel of a FM, Jim Flatulence is against this funding.

When exactly did the Quebec Nordiques come back into the NHL? So they'll build a stadium and hope a team shows up? Ya, that same idea worked out so well for Hamilton.

The one thing I'll say about Saskatchewan's stadium plan; at least its for an existing team, and one who's fan base consistently fills up the current joint. People seem to forget that the Nordiques attendance numbers were less than stellar back in the day. Peladeau is loaded, he can pay for his own friggin' gamble.
